# Citus / Hyperscale

## Introduction

[Citus](https://www.citusdata.com/) is an open source extension that transforms Postgres into a distributed
database. As it is a Postgres extension, all of Postgres' features, tooling & ecosystem can be leveraged.

<!--

Hence with Hasura, Citus also becomes a great fit for cross database joins.
